    I’d ask in the St. Louis thread as I don’t know. Have you searched to see if there are headliner kits for it? I can’t remember what year yours is or if the headliner had the metal rods sewn in that crossed from left to right.

    It did at first but after about a week it all flattened out perfectly and everything fits.

    Pulled a dummy today and actually looked at them but forgot to take pictures and other than where they are covering a pile of sound deadening material they are flat where they are supposed to be flat and the bends and curves all line up perfectly.

    Was harvesting pictures from the thread to share with some Australian friends and just catching the ones I missed the first time around.

    Spent the day chasing some house remodel issues but I did finally get the LPG lines made and fitted to the camper so I don't have to carry a Partner Steel stove with me anymore. Lines connected and tested with no leaks. Also moved the Scanguage 2 up onto the left edge of the headliner using the cheapo harbor freight tape measure belt clips.

    It will be allot nicer now using the native cook surfaces. Can now have three burners on at once with both bottles running to keep pressure up so we can max out the BTU's if necessary. Will be testing it out two weekends from now at the "Rendezvous in the Ozark" event in Arkansas. The good news for us is that the event organizer reached out and passed a electric hookup site to us that will be easy for all of our friends to access and come hang out.

    Need to get moving on getting the material to make a trailer charging hook up off the truck so I can charge the batteries with the alternator when driving. My electrical setup is a giant mess right now and I'd like to clean it up but it's quite intimidating as it is. Hopefully I can remember to get my "Big 3" materials in hand soon and just start there working my way through the system once and for all.

    Very nice! I need to get the Arkansas for some wheeling soon, trying to figure out where I will go next before the baby is here.

    Yea, if it was sunny the solar would work, just sucks when it is always overcast like it was in TN and the batteries drained.

    What all is involved in the "Big 3"?

    Replace alternator to battery, engine ground to chassis, and battery ground to chassis with heavy gauge wiring. Maximizes the electricity production from the alternator. Hopefully will allow me to continue to run the high output factory tow package alternator instead of replacing it with an aftermarket alternator and be able to safely add a third battery as a house battery for the FlipPac, or possibly for the canopy if I go that direction before I get the electrics sorted.

    That is what I had thought it was but was not sure.

    I just chuckle when people post their thumb pics to hide their plate.
